10 Best Doctor Who Characters In One Scene Only

Stephen Fry's involvement in Doctor Who had been a long time coming.

Not only did he come within a hair's breadth of penning an episode in Series 2 (his script was dropped at the last minute and replaced with Fear Her), but he's Stephen goddamn Fry, an absolute national treasure - how it took until 2020 for him to appear in the show is beyond us.

On the plus side, when he did finally show up, he made the most of the small role he was given.

Fry appears in an extended scene at the start of Spyfall: Part One, where he plays "C" - the head of MI6. Of course, Mr. Fry and his marvellous voice would be the perfect person to head-up our national security, and the actor feels right at home here, reeling off spy-fi jargon and commanding the room with apparent ease.

It's just a shame he was killed off so soon, although his shock death definitely made the character even more memorable than he already was.
